Walking
If you are starting from the Netanya city center, head towards the main pedestrian street, Herzl Street. Walk north along Herzl Street until you reach Ben Gurion Boulevard. Turn left onto Ben Gurion Boulevard and continue walking west towards the beach. You will pass several shops and cafes along the way. Once you reach the beachfront promenade, continue walking along the promenade until you see the entrance to the park where the ancient sycamore tree (עץ שיקמה עתיק) is located. The tree is situated within a small park area, which is marked with signs. Look for the large tree with a thick trunk and expansive canopy, a popular spot for photos.
Public Transportation
From the Netanya Central Bus Station, take bus number 16 or 18 towards the beach area. Get off at the stop closest to the beach, which is near the intersection of Ben Gurion Boulevard and the promenade. After disembarking, walk west towards the beach and follow the promenade until you find the entrance to the park. The ancient sycamore tree (עץ שיקמה עתיק) is located inside the park. Look for signs directing you to the tree. The area is well-known among locals, so you can also ask for directions if needed.
